commit a45835a0bb6ef7d5ddbc0714dd760de979cb6ece upstream.
"rmmod bonding" causes an oops ever since commit cc317ea3d927 ("bonding:
remove redundant NULL check in debugfs function"). Here are the relevant
functions being called:
bonding_exit()
bond_destroy_debugfs()
debugfs_remove_recursive(bonding_debug_root);
bonding_debug_root = NULL; <--------- SET TO NULL HERE
bond_netlink_fini()
rtnl_link_unregister()
__rtnl_link_unregister()
unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
bond_uninit()
bond_debug_unregister()
(commit removed check for bonding_debug_root == NULL)
debugfs_remove()
simple_recursive_removal()
down_write() -> OOPS
However, reverting the bad commit does not solve the problem completely
because the original code contains a race that could cause the same
oops, although it was much less likely to be triggered unintentionally:
CPU1
rmmod bonding
bonding_exit()
bond_destroy_debugfs()
debugfs_remove_recursive(bonding_debug_root);
CPU2
echo -bond0 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
bond_uninit()
bond_debug_unregister()
if (!bonding_debug_root)
CPU1
bonding_debug_root = NULL;
So do NOT revert the bad commit (since the removed checks were racy
anyway), and instead change the order of actions taken during module
removal. The same oops can also happen if there is an error during
module init, so apply the same fix there.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
